Come and Go with Me!
Come and go with me to my father's house.
Come and go with me to my father's house.
It's a big, big house with lots and lots of room.
A big, big table with lots and lots of food.
A big, big yard where we can play football.
A big, big house, it's my father's house.
This was a popular song by the Newsboys. Yet it still rings true today. We here at FBC of Pontiac are about building the Kingdom of God. And we invite everyone to come to The Father's house. For we know that “all have come short of the glory of God,” and that there is no one perfect, so if you're looking for a perfect church, and a perfect people……… well that's in heaven. Yet if you're looking for a community of believers that will embrace you with open arms here, we are!!!!!!
And we here at FBC are about our Father's business to seek and to save that which is lost. We know that no one is perfect, and that everyone needs a savior. We turn our eyes upon Jesus because He is the only perfect one and the author and finisher of our faith.
Being in a family is sometimes messy, sometimes chaotic, sometimes frustrating, yet we know that in our family we have each other's back—in prayer, in fellowship, and in seeking one another's good. We want to be known as a church that loves one another no matter what.
When we are in the public, we should be showing our compassion and our empathy for our fellow man, inviting them to our Father's house because it's a big house and Jesus said whosoever will let him come unto Me though your burdens be heavy, I shall make them light. We want to show Jesus to a lost and dying world. We want to be a home to those who feel homeless in this world. We want to be a guiding light in the midst of dark times. We want to show hope to the hopeless. Our mission and our values should always be about the Kingdom of God.
